I don’t really care about run time as long as the movie is good but I’m glad it’s confirmed now so we don’t  get another 100 posts speculating how long the movie is. 

Yup. With literally nothing releasing both before and after this movie for almost 3-4 weeks on either side of release, the runtime won't hurt showings as theaters have literally nothing else to play. All studios likely felt Omicron would be bigger than it ended up being, so Batman pretty much gets to be the only big movie in the first 3 months of the year.

The end credits are almost certainly 10 minutes or just over that so more or less equals how long The Dark Knight Rises (the previous longest Batman movie) was.

Three hours of vengeance, baby

[lorddemaxus]

The best post-Burton Batman movie is the previous longest one, so I'll take it.

I don't know why knowing the running time of the movie made me 10 times more hyped than I already am but it did! 😁

I'm telling you guys, the runtime is only gonna help with making general audience more curious about the movie if it gets good reviews. It's gonna blow up. Even people complaining about it now are gonna end up watching with good word of mouth.

Ya, as long as the movie is received well by the GA then runtime/screens won’t be an issue. We’ll see what happens. 

[AdrianL]

I'm excited. At least it's nice knowing WB didn't get a trailer company to edit it. 

[filmlover]

In a way it's a good thing this is going to be virtually competition-free for almost a month because the long running time means that each screen will only get to play it a certain number of times per day and will hold onto the bigger theaters for a few weeks due to each show filling up. It would've had to shuffle some screens around a bit in its second week if Turning Red hadn't decided to bypass theaters.

Looks like we won’t be hearing for calls to release the Reeves cut.

Pretty much, everything now is review dependent. If the reviews are good, this will blow up in a big way.

Endgame was 2:49 without credits, as I recall. 
 

It seems crazy to me that this film will be that long, but here’s hoping it’s worth the runtime.

[Macleod]

Can't believe even VARIETY has jumped on this "without credits" mumbo-jumbo.  The runtime of the film is 2:55, period.  The credits include all the people who actually made the movie, so yes, they're important and "part of the film."

Barry Keoghan being in the movie was confirmed ages ago. His name is in the description of the teaser trailer. He plays some police officer or something.

Barry Keoghan was officially announced in the movie in 2020, iirc.

[JonahVex]

Spoiler

i read somewhere that one of the test screenings only have him show up in the post credits 

 

[ThomasNicole]

Spoiler

Yes, his participation changed a lot during the post production, but he is part of the third act on the last test screening, and his scene make people going crazy from what i read, so it's probably in the final movie this way.

Everybody's reporting the 3-hour runtime on this. Even Endgame didn't get this much coverage over how long it was. Not sure why this is a big deal, but good on the PR team I guess.
